Photos: Robert De Niro Gives Zac Efron A Prostate Exam
Robert De Niro was recently seen on set appearing to check up on Zac Efron's prostate's well-being. Looks like he got a thumbs up!
Computer, enhance:
In what seems looks like a scene in the forthcoming Dirty Grandpa, screen legend, two-time Oscar-winner, and Empire Magazine's "Greatest Living Actor" Robert De Niro was spotted shoving his right thumb up the butt of High School Musical's Zac Efron. Dirty Grandpa, not to be confused with Jackass' Bad Grandpa, is directed by longtime Sacha Baron Cohen collaborator Dan Mazer and the IMDB logline makes it sound like a good one: "Right before his wedding, an uptight guy is tricked into driving his grandfather, a perverted former Army general, to Florida for spring break."
A lot of the filming was recently done on Georgia's Tybee Island, and photos from the set make it look like a corker! Look forward to Dirty Grandpa to grace the big screen next year.
And just in case you were wondering, this is actually the second time these two talents have teamed up for a movie:

-
Pickets are being held outside at movie and TV studios across the city
-
For some critics, this feels less like a momentous departure and more like a footnote.
-
Disneyland's famous "Fantasmic!" show came to a sudden end when its 45-foot animatronic dragon — Maleficent — burst into flames.
-
